This Eagle Creek project is the first o f many development plans to be carried out for the Park. The trail will follow-the Creek tip into the Oregon National Forest, and then on tQ W ah turn Lake. Prom the I<ake there is a trail down Herman Creek to the Herman Ranger Station and the Columbia Highway, thus com pleting a twenty-six mile loop.

IRE SAIE O U SKIRT “ Experiments being conducted in Marshfield with black sand which is found in great quanti ties all over this* portion of tbe coast are said to have developed extraordinary findings,” says the Record. “ I t is claimed that the values are far beyond the most optimistic expectations and the opening o f operations here will revolutionize tbe entire labor market and ideas of resources. “ Very likely the black sand areas will be mined this fall and the developments are certain to be on a large scale. The recent activity in this line is the result ot shipments ot the sand to east ern cities and accompanying chemical experiments. As long ago as eight months, the sand was shipped aw ay and tw o or three week» ago three chemists and engineers arrived on the scene. They spent tw o weeks on the beach and now their in vestigations are leaking out. One story is that in 85 pounds ot sand the assays showed $17 platinum and $2 50 g o ld . Whether this is correct the Rec ord cannot state, bat the stories are very common.” This story of the fabnlons wealth that larks in the black sands of the seashore is a repc tition of many such stories that have gone on before and lured the seekers after the yellow met al on and on, only to be finally disappointed. That the gold is there is an admitted fact, and ift quantities that could easily be made to pay handsomely if some means conk) be provided for sep arating it ir o m the sand with out too mack expense, but there is tbe Several years ago John Brown, who formerly lived in this com munity, became interested in this matter of gathering the pre cious metal from the sands of tbe Pacific and he bad a machine constructed here in New berg which be thought would do the work. When it was completed he shipped it to Newport where he, with a force o f New berg ipen, gave it a thorough trying out on the beach a t Nye Creek, but without success, and the ventare was finally abandoned. wmmz ' m bs a m a .

Among the number is Emma N Carlton, of New Al bany, who has contributed the following verses for tbe columns of the Graphic: Migrants Once more the robin’s nest is on tbe willow bough. H ark cat-bird’s soft, sweet call amid the apple leaves; Across the fields the meadow lark flings music now; Spring’s wealth o f song bears solace to each heart that grieves. Return, return, return, oh come again, dear dove! F air bird with burnished breast and full, melodious tones; Bring freedom—sye, and rest and joy and peace and love, To bless s work) yhich ’neath w ar’s cruel sorrow groan s The Shack (D iana sent up a bubble to tbe skies, and thither she transported herself at will. —Geo. Meredith e d ith .V My shack in the woods is beneath a low hill, Mayhap somewhere near it there wan- ders a rill; Some chickens, a bench, and upon it a cat, In the window a flower, a battered straw hat. A sweat, winding vista leads down to the door; Methinks a rag carpet bedecks the rough floor; A table, some chairs through- the small panes are seen; A t night a bright tight flings its joy far, I ween. D ear trees, e’en in winter, adorn the loved hiU; W hen birds have fa r fled I can bear their song still; My heart fareth often from all worldly gM ds, To spend precious boors in that shack in the woods.
